Trux Automated Load Reassignment
Through the day, WebRun watches Trux for third-party hauler cancellations, identifies the loads left uncovered, ranks available haulers by proximity, truck type, and current pace, posts a reassignment proposal to dispatch in Slack, and drafts an offer SMS to the top replacement in Twilio so the load is recovered before the jobsite runs dry.
How do I automatically reassign a load when a third-party hauler cancels?
WebRun watches Trux every few minutes for third-party hauler cancellations and pinpoints the loads left uncovered. It ranks available haulers by proximity, truck fit, and spare capacity, posts a reassignment proposal to dispatch in Slack, and drafts an offer SMS to the top replacement in Twilio, so an orphaned load gets a ranked shortlist within minutes.
- Canceled loads get a ranked backup within minutes
- Fewer jobsites left short when a hauler drops out
- The replacement offer drafted and ready the moment a load is orphaned

Questions, answered
Does it reassign the load or text haulers on its own?
No. WebRun proposes a ranked shortlist in Slack and drafts an offer SMS in Twilio, but your dispatcher confirms the reassignment in Trux and approves the SMS. Committing a new hauler stays a human decision.
How fast does it catch a cancellation?
It watches Trux every few minutes, so an orphaned load is usually surfaced with replacement options within minutes of the third-party hauler dropping it, before the jobsite runs short of material.
How does it rank the replacement haulers?
It ranks by proximity to the plant, truck-type fit for the material, and spare capacity against their current load pace, so the top suggestion is the one most likely to cover the load on time.
